Wamuran Beerwah

Beerwah and Wamuran are nearby Queensland areas with very different levels of accessibility. Beerwah is more walkable (mostly car-dependent) and has far more public transport and essential services within a 15-minute walk, including a higher number of schools and larger average school sizes. In contrast, Wamuran is car-dependent, with very few homes within walking distance of a school or grocery store. While Beerwah has more renters, Wamuran has a higher share of detached houses and a higher typical weekly household income of $2,049, compared to $1,534 in Beerwah.

The gap in typical household income has widened since 2011, though the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical proportions of people born overseas, adults with university degrees, and those who have served in the Defence Force. Both areas also have similar shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, at around 3% each, and nearly the same percentage of people who provide unpaid care.
